Did you know?
- The word voluntad is used in Spanish to refer to a 'will' as a desire, but not as a 'last will and testament', which is called testamento.
- In Spanish, adding the adjective divina can sometimes shift the meaning to something 'wonderful' or 'exquisite' in a non-religious, slang context, such as una cena divina.
- In many Spanish-speaking cultures, if something happens that is beyond one's control, people may shrug and say Si Dios quiere, which functions similarly to 'if God wills it'.
